I have an 898c SI at the console and picked up an 859c DI for the bow. Question on transducers - If I run both units networked, can I add the DI transducer to the back and select with each unit which transducer to use for which scenario (2D and DI), to eliminate crosstalk? I believe the 200 runs on both transducers at all times, but can you select the units to use the same transducer for 2D and not have the other one ping, for example?
It could look like this:
898c uses SI transducer for 2D and SI, but 859 transducer for DI.
859c uses SI transducer for 2D, but 859 transducer for DI.
Or would it be better to keep just the SI transducer installed and only use 2D and SI on the 859? In saying that, I believe the 859 will display the SI with the latest software since the units are networked.
Or, if someone has a better idea, I'm all ears.
Thanks.
